Supplies

Supplies needed: hangers, safety pins, packing tape, Ziploc bags, staples, #60- #67 Card Stock for printing your tags.

Pricing and Labeling:

Please make sure your clothes are affixed to the hangers securely.  Please be sure to bring large safety pins to attach your clothes to the hangers and the tags on the clothes. Please do not use straight pins for at all. Hangers will not be returned.

Plastic bags are required for shoes, accessories, toys, and books.  New this year- please staple them shut with the tag on the outside.  Use packing tape to attach all parts to toys and tags to non-clothing items, such as stuffed animals or bedding.  When you affix your tags to your items please do not tape, staple, or pin through the bar code on your tags.

When pricing your items please keep in mind that you are here to sell as much as possible, so please price accordingly.

Please follow the instructions below for preparing your items for the sale:

•  Hang all clothing items on hangers with the hook facing left. 

•  Attach the tag on the top right side (as you face it) of the clothing.

•  Pin pants and skirts to hangers by the waistband. 

•  For two-piece outfits, pin the waistband of the pants to the shoulders of the top. If you pin the pants to the bottom of the shirt it could tear the shirt.

•  All toys, equipment, and furniture must be clean and in working order. Small parts should be bagged and taped to the main part securely.

•  Please place socks, bibs, bottles, hats, and small toys inside Ziploc bags and staple them securely. Staple your tag to the outside of the bag.

•  All shoes need to be placed in a Ziploc bag with the tag stapled to the outside.
